I'm not sure if this will help but there is a open source tag library here: http://www.opensymphony.com/sitemesh/
It lets you load in other pages written in other languages and filters them in to content of a jsp page. It sounds like this would let you create the templating in jsp and rather than link them to the asp apps you would have pages that loaded and decorated the output of those apps. I haven't used it but have just started looking at it for this exact situation (loading existing asp output into a java site) John Nicholas Jerry Jalenak wrote: > Thanks to everyone (so far) for the comments.
